I imagine many other Brit/ Continental rebranded tubes were OEMed here.

6,200 people employed there in 1962. That was about half of the English population, wasn't it?

The tube guys need to see this to see what was involved mass producing these things with quality. Once demand lagged the economics of producing them dissipated along with the jobs.
